N1  - The authors gratefully acknowledge financial support of the MUSIS workshop on interfacial phenomena, where the special issue was initiated, by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG (Ne 824/8-1). We are grateful to Fabian Rudy for the illustrations used in Figure 1.
AB  - Prediction of fluid phase dynamics in the vadose zone is hampered by the presence of different types of sharp interfaces, questioning the validity of standard theory that is based on assumption of continuity of air and water phases, uniform distribution of fluids in a control volume, local equilibrium of phase contents and pressures, and slow process velocities. Complexity of fluid front morphology and burst-like redistribution processes may be accentuated across material contrasts or at the interface between soil and atmosphere. This special section presents eleven contributions highlighting the role of interfaces on water and air distributions and outlining methods to improve prediction of interfacial displacement.
